F2 for me since I won't risk the F1's until RFactor2 is out of beta.

Get more votes in, call your friends, alert your facebooks, and if you manage to get the votes up high enough, we will do all 3 of them at once

Bram Hengeveld · May 30, 2012

Majority voted for F2 so we will setup season 1 with those cars. Fingers crosses as it will be a handful

This may sound as a strange request but we like to hear your favorite music clips from the 60s!

Please use this thread to discuss your favorite artists and songs and please embed the YouTube videos of your choice.

More information soon what we will be using this for

Bram Hengeveld · May 31, 2012

I'll kick it off with Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower (1968)

Bram Hengeveld · May 31, 2012

And another of my personal favs. The Four Tops - Reach out (Ill be there there) (1966) in the awesome live version at the Ed Sullivan Show.

I was very very lucky to see them live at the end of 90s, when all of them were "a little older", in a bar during a skiing trip in Austria (of all places) where they were still giving a hell of a live show. Really impressive!
